ADRIAN, MI – Venchurs, Inc. announced that Greg Golab has been appointed Vice President of Sales and Marketing, while former VP Terry Karges will transition into a new role as advisor and member of the Venchurs Board of Directors. Karges steps into the new role after accepting an offer to lead the venerable Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, which will allow the LA native to spend more time with his family while continuing to support Venchurs' rapidly growing specialty vehicle and CNG programs. 

“Terry has been absolutely instrumental in the launch of Venchurs Vehicle Systems,” says Jeff Wyatt, CEO of Venchurs. “VVS Conversions is now one of the best known Ford light truck CNG converters in the country and our VWerks division has flourished under his leadership. This new role at Petersen’s is a perfect match for Terry—it allows him to work in his home of Los Angeles and continue to serve the automotive industry at what is arguably the finest automotive museum in the world. We’re honored that he will continue to serve Venchurs and guide its development and growth.”
